Hairy Matt Hazelton & Dirtfoot headline Red River Revel, not the 2 girls with big, open lips; see Dirtfoot Thur, Oct 12, 6:30

In a surprising move the Red River Revel has decided to put its beef behind a regional act, the folk-boogie aggregation called Dirtfoot. "Dirtfoot is the Real Deal; their artful flair represents what the Revel ought to be selling," said Kip Holloway, RRR director. The group's appearance on Th, Oct 12, has been named Dirtfootie Day in Shreveport.

"We hate to be headlining the Revel when they could have had those two girls singing commercial country-rock - the girl whose lips are insured by Citibank and her photogenic partner - and to tell the truth we're all sweaty and irreverent," said Hazelton.
